It is difficult
To exist in this world
To a different soundtrack
Than everyone else.
If you are adaptable
You compensate
For your different tune
And learn the tricks
To make your notes
Sound like the loud ones
You are used to hearing.
All that beautiful
Talent hidden
From the world.
After a while,
Covering up
Is the only way
You know to live.

The saving hope,
Is that the quiet truth
Playing only to you
Will draw you
To the other people
With different tunes.
You just start dancing
With them
It feels so natural.
These are your people
Who can help you learn
How valuable
Your sincere song is.
